Check out my reaction to Bojack Horseman: • DOCTOR REACTS TO BOJAC...
It's a Sin reviews: • DOCTOR REACTS TO IT'S ...
This is another Doctor REACTS video watching The Office, and I'm watching perhaps the most famous mental health episode, called "Counseling" from season 7 when Michael is forced to have therapy with Toby. It goes about as well as you might expect and we get to look at the dynamics between them, the difference between psychotherapy and counseling and how Toby should try and manage all of Michael's chaotic emotions. Let me know what you think.

You’ll definitely love the show Community. The entire series is relevant to your channel. You could do a couple episodes a month as a side thing until you finish the series and by that time the movie that starts filming this summer should be out. The character Abed, while never officially diagnosed in the show is based on the creator himself who after hearing so many people say that Abed was autistic got himself tested and learned that he was autistic.
That DnD episode was heartbreaking!
@@carmen_says_hi The first one with Neil yes. Great message in that episode. N*tflix removed that episode because of the accidental blackface joke, but now it’s on Pea*ock. I censored the streaming service names because if I don’t RUclips strikes my comment saying I’m advertising.
The one where Pearce is in the hospital could be a good one!
@@romantempleton5757 an interesting choice, his manipulativeness comes to a head in that episode. I’d probably recommend Advanced Gay where Pierce deals with his daddy issues or the second D&D episode where professor Hickey reconnects with his son, maybe the floor is lava episode where Abed learns to deal with change.
I would love Doctor Elliot's take on Professor Duncan 😂. The first Christmas episode deals with Abed's psyche with Prof Duncan at the helm of trying to work out what's in his mind.
“it’s when you said one thing but meant your mother” lmfaooo
"He has a lot of issues, and he's stupid." Loved that line.
The first good therapist I connected with changed my world. By our second appointment she knew enough to know I loved animals, and so she started to bring her dog to appointments and engage with me while I sat and pet the pup. As a shy 14yo, I felt so much more comfortable to open up because I could talk towards the dog without having to make eye contact when discussing the darker issues. That therapist was also absolutely incredible, but having an animal in the room was like a master key for unlocking my thoughts lol
What helped me trust my therapist was her telling me that she trusted me. I was 20, my depression had spiralled into attempts at suicide and I'd finally asked for help. Two terrible psychologists later I met Maggie and the first thing she said to me was "no matter what you tell me, I will believe you". I truly owe her my life.
They work for you. It's not at all important that they trust you, but their job only exists if you trust them.
In the US, the terms counseling and psychotherapy are use interchangeably. A master's degree in counseling and a state license allows counselors to perform psychotherapy. Other therapists are also trained to the master's degree level at a minimum. These include psychologists (educated at the doctoral level), marriage and family therapists, and clinical social workers. These mental health professionals are allowed to perform psychotherapy and diagnose mental disorders so long as they hold a license for their respective profession issued by a state licensing board of that profession.
Really helpful and v interesting to know how professions vary and interface with one another in different healthcare systems
What helped me trust my therapist is that she showed genuine interest in my thoughts and implemented my feedback; I knew early on that we were a team and that she had my best interest in mind, and I am so, so grateful to her for that!
So... They weren't being paid? Or perhaps you misplaced your trust.
My friend is a court mandated therapist for adults who have committed SA. He agrees that forced therapy isn't effective in 90% of cases. He wishes the court instead made it available but optional
In the UK the individual has to consent to it for the court to even consider it as part of a sentence which is a start, but the issue is that our criminal justice system is inherently coercive so many say yes to try and (understandably) avoid a prison sentence but that doesn't necessarily mean they have insight into the need for therapy itself
Did you mean committed in San Antonio?
In 2019-2020, I had a therapist named Jeff. He was the first one I really connected to. I had been forced to go to therapy as a kid (as well as religious counseling), but never really connected to any of them. I started seeing Jeff when I was around 19 or 20. He was patient and kind to me. Looking back, I think he made some definite mistakes (telling me that the virus in China wasn't likely to come here and that I was allowed to worry when he did). But he was the first therapist I really trusted. He saved my life and I hope he's doing well
Mowgli actually was raised by wolves, he just hangs out with Bagheera and Baloo more over the course of the story
4:24 Yup, here in the US, Licensed Clinical Social Workers (LCSWs) are counselors. :) They're trained to do a lot more as far as whole-person case management, but yeah, they're one of a _bunch_ of different licenses you can get that allows Master's Levels graduates to professionally conduct therapy with clients. The PhD graduates are psychotherapists here too, but there don't seem to be a lot who focus on therapy. At least in my city, they mostly conduct testing for things like autism, work for the court system, teach or conduct research.
In my experience you go to the master's level people for therapy and they send you to the PhD's to get medications.
@@austinweaver5649 The PhD's, the Psychologists, are academic doctors so they can't really prescribe meds. That's for the medical doctors (Psychiatrists like Dr. Carthy), or their Physician's Assistant (PA) or Nurse Practitioner (NP).
What helped me trust my therapist was finding someone who was neurodivergent, like me.
I need this desperately. I've seen many therapists in my life and just could never seem to communicate properly or connect with any of them and as I get older and understand my brain more I think the issue really boils down to my ASD. I think it might really help to have a therapist who is also neurodivergent
Your comment gives me hope. Thank you
I found out I was autistic at 44. In the year I've been to therapy, my therapist (fairly new) has gone from "works with autism" to "hmm, I wonder" to being pretty she she's autistic herself. It's been helpful to see her work through some of the same late-diagnosis thoughts that I have.
I NEED to see you react to the "Morroccan Christmas" episode where Michael tries to do an intervention for Meredith 😂
My middle name is Alf. And on behalf of all Alfs, I promise we did not probe Michael. We did mildly poke him though
I used to have a. talking Alf doll. I also had an Alf cake pan. I made one Alf cake. I would’ve made you a cake, too
"Remember Alf? He's back! In pog form!"
😂😂😂😂
Toby has a Master's in Social Work or MSW. In Pennsylvania, someone would have to "complete at least 3,000 hours of supervised clinical experience after completion of the master's degree in social work. The supervised clinical experience shall be completed in no less than 2 years." After passing the examination, he would have become a LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker).
Counseling is a broad term here in the US. There's clinical counseling (psychotherapy), but there's also the "here and now" counseling that doesn't necessarily require a specific degree or certificate depending on the field.
Thank you for pointing this out. I know it's just a TV show, but I would be surprised if Toby were a LCSW and still doing HR for a corporation like this. In my experience as a master's level social worker, the majority of social workers where I live switch to almost exclusively therapy once they get that big L. And for many of us who aren't interested in therapy, we only get the intermediate license, or even just the master's without the license, since it's not really necessary for a lot of social work jobs (except for the raise you usually get with it).
Not miss Plane - “mama, kudos for saying that, for spilling” - Jane in the background of this episode!! Another great reaction video, so enjoyable and educational! Keep it up Dr.E 🫶🏻✨
... for spilling
Michael Scott is the most relatable character I've ever seen! He's a good guy who just misunderstands a lot which I often do as well. It's hard understanding things sometimes...😅
I was always curious about what people thought about this episode, I really related to Michael in it and I thought it humanised him alot especially because before I couldn’t really sympathise with him and didn’t like his character that much 😅 it’s easier to like him when you know WHY he keeps trying to get people to like him so much
9:35, Mowgli is raised by wolves though
Thank you @matityaloran9157
I was just about to comment this exact thing. You beat me to it!! lol
The original story that movie is based off of is called Mowgli’s brothers and those are all wolves
@@matthewgallaway3675 Yes. That was the first of the stories in Kipling’s book
When I was a kid I trusted my therapist by her explaining how my parents wanted me to work on certain issues, but that we could work on whatever I wanted to or was struggling with.
Yeah! Screw what the customer wants from the professional. What a trustworthy professional to not at all care what they are there to do. Sounds like they'll say anything to justify their salary while you do all their work.
The parents are not the customer. In fact, referring to the doctor/patient relationship as one of supplier/customer is problematic in and of itself. Because it implies the doctor can just give you what you want. That's not how it works. A doctor gives you what you need to fix your problems best, whether it be surgery, or teaching you how to cope and process. A patient can then do with that what they will, they can listen to their doctor, and heal the best they can, or they ignore their doctor's words, and continue whatever reckless behavior placed them in front of the doctor to begin with.
I connected so much with my psychiatrist because she listens. That's really all it took - an empathetic listener who believes me and wants to help. Then over time, it developed into trust, where I trust she's treating me with the latest, safest and best treatments available (she is *so* on top of the latest research), but she also trusts _me,_ trusts that I'm on top of my symptoms and side-effects like a hawk. We're working together as a team to keep me as well and whole as I possibly can be. She's actually the only mental health care professional I've felt that from.
I once told her "I've won the healthcare lottery with you". She said "While I appreciate the compliment, what you need to know is that you've received adequate care". That sentence changed my whole outlook on healthcare. She shouldn't be the exception - it's supposed to be the rule.
Psychotherapist here 🙋🏽♀️ and Licensed Clinical Social Worker (MSW and LCSW). So Toby is not totally wrong but he’s not totally correct here. If he just has a degree in SW, first, which level…bachelor’s or master’s? If he had a BSW then no, he is not a qualified counselor. If he had an MSW and had gone through the required supervision hours 2000-3000 it varies and has passed his exams then, yes, he CAN provide counseling.
They would, really should, refer him out since he and Toby have a dual relationship since they actively work together. But that would ruin the joke completely. I love this episode!
To answer your question, I’ve never learned to trust. My dad was abusive, my parents took me to a psychiatrist, he sided with my parents.
I've run through many psychologists in my life bc of mistreatment. The doc I have now is the first one I can ever trust. Reason being is he always asked how my cat is and remembered her name. It might seem strange but it's just a small personal conversation price that I feel is very comforting and made me realize the trust I started to grow with him.
thanks Mr. psych! if u see this, my cat is hella chill rn
Ahhh you are a content machine atm Elliot! Loving every video.
Hope you're doing ok!
Elliot - 'I'll stop before i start talking about defences'
..3 seconds later - 'projection'
I know from experience how big the difference between forced and unforced therapy is. I’ve been in therapy for the last 18 years, and for almost all of that it’s been excellent and always connected with my therapists…EXCEPT, when I was in hospital having broken my back intentionally jumping off a building, and they made me see the hospital therapist since I was unsurprisingly have trouble adapting to my new reality. I HATED them, but to this day I couldn’t tell you if it was them personally or just my situation made it impossible to connect until I got out and started seeing a therapist of my own choice.
I love my therapist because she is often able to mirror my expressions back to me in a way that helps me process what I'm thinking/feeling.
I felt like my therapist was such a calming person as well as similar to my age. She let me lead and i was ready to talk. We didn't dive deeper until she could tell i was truly ready and eager to do so.
Smart therapist to not drive away their paycheck. If it takes you forever to feel ready, that's just job security for them.
One of the few good experiences I had in a non child psychosomatic clinic my mother forced me in at age 16 (I had to "agree" on it by signature, but I was just terrified of resisting her) was in music therapy. They had another group for art therapy and I thought I would have preferred that one, but could not choose anyway. But then one day in music therapy I was absolutely surprised by myself. There were a bunch of different instruments and we were told to just try out and explore. I don't even recall the name of what I stuck with. It made a scratchy, whiny, not very pleasant sound and somehow that was way too relatable to how I felt inside. I closed my eyes listening to it - and was completely sucked it. The therapist had to gently touch my arm for me to open my eyes, only finding everyone staring at me. Apparently we ad been told to stop, but was so far away that I needed a touch to waken up, all along making the instrument screatch. Had felt good somehow. I would never have expected a simple "making weird noise" would have such a big effect on me.
As someone who has been forced into therapy and force-tricked into a closed juvenile psych ward and in the process gaining further traumatic events, I am absolutely convinced that you cannot force therapy to anyone.
Maybe a first push might be necessary, but as a patient you have to be "on board".
And trust is SO CRUCIAL. How can you trust someone that you perceive as a threat.
I have to say I find it easier to name how my trust in mental health professionals was broken than how it was build.
I guess big part of what made me trust my actual and excellent psychiatrist (in therapy with him for over a decade. If not for his support, I'm pretty sure I would not be around any more) was that I really wanted help. That's the basement I guess. And then feeling really heard and respected as a person. Maybe as an adult, maybe that was a big issue before when I was still a teenager (my first contact with mental health care was at 15, but I've had issues long before). Big deal for me was my by then chronified ED. Or rather for me what bothered me the least, but what was jumped to the most.
So, the willingness to focus on "the rest", which is a lot. Depression as a diagnosis I've had right from the start since 15. But my actual psychiatrist helped me dive deeper. We've since then figured out that I have AVPD and cPTSD as well, and severe anxiety issues.
Also, the setting is a little bit special. Since I've always had a low income (temporary but once prolonged invalidity pension as of now) I benefit from a public health service. It's an inderdisciplinary group of social workers, counsellers, psychiatrists, in an ambulant setting which is free for the patients. I could not afford it otherwise.
So there was a time where I was really both ashamed and afraid that some day I would be "send away" for taking too long and "stealing someone else's seat". Stll struggle with the latter sometimes. But I could tell my psych about it, and he really could appease me that this would not happen.
In the end, there's a lot over the years that confirmed that I was right in trusting him.
Hi Dr. Carthy, I just wanted to let you know I’ve been watching you for a few years now and I’m just about to start my first big girl job as a Behavioral Health Clinician. You’re videos helped educate me and keep me in the loop of standard practice. Thank you for everything and keep doing what you’re doing! Let’s crack on ❤
Yes! Congrats on the job and so pleased you've found the vids helpful. It means a huge amount
What helped me trust was having a psychiatrist who actually listened and didn’t make me feel judged.
The thing that allowed me to really get into therapy was actually taking it less seriously. My psych swears, tells me if he’s had a bad week, and we can have a good laugh amidst the tough stuff. Makes it sooo much easier to open up to someone who you don’t feel so intimidated by!
Time led me to be able to convince myself that the therapist is not gonna immediately throw me out as soon as I open up 😅. I always knew it rationally, but my instincts had to be... Guided?
I’m 33 seconds in and just noticed Plane Jane 😂😂
Hi Dr. Elliot, I am actually pursuing a Master's in social work I have a Bachelor's in social work but can't practice psychotherapy. In the U.S. they tend to use the terms counselor and psychotherapist interchangeably. You have to be licensed in your respective field and state in order to practice. There's even some fields such as nursing (nurse practioners) who are licensed at the master's level and can prescribe medication. Licensed clinical social workers can't however, and it is a good thing in my opinion as I don't have advanced training or medical schooling in psychopharmacology.
Unfortunately, something that made me mistrust a psychiatrist was her communicating with an estranged abusive family member setting up a meeting with this person and then telling me during therapy, constantly bringing up anecdotes of her own family in sessions, something that had no relation to what I was saying at all. I was a typical 14 year old angry teenage boy then, made me very mistrusting of psychologists, councillors etc. didn’t see a therapist for years after this happened. Glad to have grown up and understood more of what happens in the world, working in public service settings, studying law and social sciences definitely helped me with maturity. May just go back to it one day, great video doc.
OMFG this is the crossover that I never expected and I surely needed: your videos and one of my favorite shows!!!! I swear that first scene you put from Ryan at the beginning always makes me laugh so hard and I always thought what would my therapist think of this? and now I have your videoooooooo aaaaaaaaaa you're the best sorry I'm so hyped I'm borderline lmao love u tho
For me it was allowing me to have time to bring stuff forward. Too often in the public system you get hurried along. Giving someone time to build a relationship is better.
I always trusted the profession and was going to therapy since I was 11. It was more that I had a problem that I live in a place where it was tough to have private conversation. Most were family or family friends of my abusive mother
I’ve tried therapy twice. Once was in high school, due to my intense anxiety. My mom insisted on sitting in on the session, told the therapist a lot of horrible things about me, and I was mortified and never wanted to do again.
I tried again 10 years later with a call session. My therapist raised her voice at me, and I hung up immediately. The thought of trying therapy again terrifies me.
You talked about ADOS for like 30 seconds and it was really interesting. I went down a long rabbit hole trying to find out how this works and I couldn’t quite find good examples. People always explained it very vague, but never with an example. Like what behavior with what toy would be an indication? Do you maybe have any sources where I can find out more about this? I would be really thankful! ❤
I trust my therapist because she actually listens, understands how i feel and she actually cares about guiding to me turn my life around. Plus points for supporting me for being trans and not deadnaming
What helped me learn to trust MH professionals was the same thing that set me on the road to sobriety many years later: desperation. It was that or death.
He said he has a degree in social work but didn't say masters degree. In NJ at least a masters in Social Work does qualify you to be a therapist but you would need an LCSW, which is a license in clinical social work.
In Italy they don’t have Counsellors as they don’t consider it to be helpful, they only psychotherapists. I find it really interesting (coming from UK and having seen a rise in counselling services).
…but Mowgli was raised by wolves. Raksha and Father Wolf 😅
She listened instead of trying to tell me what I was feeling...which was what my first therapist tried to do.
Do you think it’s possible that Michael had an abusive childhood which resulted in him being needed and wanting attention and being insensitive to others?
In fact, after a dozen years of therapy, drugs, psychologists and a couple of psychiatrists, I learned to distrust them completely. They can neither diagnose nor treat a condition. However, school gives them a hammer and they use it scrupulously.
Funny thing, I like working with my current therapist because she was the first who could identify or rather explain some things I haven’t discovered on my own about people in my life. Also she understands that losing a pet is just as painful as losing a human child - emotionally that is (yes, I know this is hard for people to understand, but it is possible to feel that pain for an animal, to connect with an animal on such a level).
But to think that before I started seeing her, I spent half a year talking about brain cancer and work place bullying with a different therapist who one time slipped and straight up said she does not understand why am I so sad about losing a pet...(ugh I was just simply shocked, because if she does not understand such a simple thing as a bond between a pet and a human how could she possibly understand living with brain cancer and being let go by previous employer just after surgery and all the rest I was talking about?!) - I think this therapist was a prime example of when people should not be therapists.
I am not a mental health professional. I am seeing a mental health professional who identifies herself as a counselor, but a lot of the work that we do is both related to my current life (I started seeing her after a traumatic assault last spring) and to my early life and how it connects to the assault and my reaction to it. From my understanding counseling must cover both short and long term work
The work is yours and the pay is theirs. Everybody wins. ...unless you project the credit you earned onto the councilor, in which case they've merely manipulated you to justify their paychecks.
@autonomouspublishingincorp8241 That's a lot of words to say "I'm badly in need of therapy"!
@@sgtsongbird Then seek that help you need, if your that desperate or gullible.
Maybe next time just say that to begin with.
Yes! Risk assessment! We can assess risk, stressors, and most likely thought processes, but we can not accurately predict behavior.
I'm an adult but in the last year I've been thinking I might have some sort of undiagnosed ADHD or autism or something. I was told I was normal my whole life but I feel like all the signs I hear about are there. How do I go about getting tested? I'm just worried I don't have enough time, or mostly money😅
Another good review. Have you considered doing the Always Sunny episode The Gang Broke Dee?
pretty disappointing to hear a medical professional spreading misinformation….the jungle book is absolutely not a better film than toy story
I know! And he didn’t even mention the actual best movie ever: Ratatouille
How I came to have even the baseline level of trust. Honestly it would sound creepy. I have cptsd and autism with selective mutism.
I don’t trust easily, I keep files on new people in my life to help me remember things about them, and I have a trust matrix to be able to statically measure over time. Also I write reflection after each session. Share these helped, as I was able to communicate my thoughts and feelings from the safety of my home, it also allowed them to read these without me seeing any potential emotions. Constantly, honest and stability are key for trust.
Honesty and stability or consistency are absolutely at the core
I would love to hear your thoughts on therapy as punishment in a corporate environment or similar institution. Much love
Interesting , in Germany Psychiatrists are also Psychotherapists.
Some are in the UK too. Medical psychotherapy is a subspecialty of psychiatry but is shrinking and largely being replaced by non-medics who train solely in psychotherapy
@@DoctorElliottCarthy Here any medical doctor can become a medical psychotherapist. Psychiatrists and Psychosomatic Doctors automatically become Psychotherapists since they have to do psychotherapy in their 5 years specialty training. Every other doctor has to do three years training (e.g. you can be a urologist and a psychotherapistat the same time). However, medical psychotherapists are being more and more replaced by Psychologogical Psychotherapists (Psychologists with an additional degree in Psychotherapy) here as well.
Toby was one of my favorite characters on the show.
But Mowgli is raised by wolves! :) He only leaves with Bagheera when Shere Khan starts hunting him.
Well maybe you can explain this to me. Twice, the Army and the VA has diagnosed me with sociopathic/psychopathic traits and tendencies. And that’s all they said about that. Totally left my inquisitive mind hanging on what that means for me. 😂. They went more to the PTSD and bipolar but skipped that one.
We all live in a version of reality that we believe we deserve.
There! All your psychological problems are now solved. All you have to do now is uncover the reasons as to why you would believe that about yourself.
Now, get to work!
And yes, your mom probably does have a lot to do with that. As well as your dad, your siblings, your peers, your teachers, your co-workers, your favorite TV shows and movies. It's a lot to go through.
okay but why is Plane Jane in the background on a tablet XD
Completely off topic, but does the still in the background show us who you're currently rooting for on Drag Race? The last video I saw had Sapphira and now it's Plane Jane.
I feel like The Sopranos would be an interesting series for you to react to.
"cotton on"(UK) = "catch on to" (US)
caught on?
Is that Plane Jane at the back?
Could I make a request for an analysis for an old Babylon 5 episode "A Late Delivery from Avalon"? You've often talked about delusional states and defense mechanisms, and the episode is a doozy in that regard.
They believed me and listened to what I had to say. Took a depressingly long time to find that person, and they moved away. I had another who was ok-ish after. Listened, but didn't give much back, so it was just a random day of telling him what had been happening for the past 6 months. But he was there and knew my history for when things got really bad, and they did. But he moved. New person said my history was a bit too delicate for what she normally does. Another person is forced to take me because they serve a roll due to my chronic illness, so everyone at the clinic has one. He kind of disappeared because scheduling got messed up, and I am too stressed by life to go chasing after a therapist I don't know well, especially since he isn't supposed to be dealing with the stuff I bring to therapy anyway. It's awesome being a therapist's burden and being told you really need two therapists. I miss the one I had.
Have you watched Lilo and Stitch because that movie is great and might make a good video?
Cult - That's "See You Last Tuesday"
Silent start tends not to work with autistic people, which one of my therapists learnt very quickly 🙃
Plane Jane's up in this gig, mama.
Kudos mama...
You should react to the show Lucifer, there is even a therapist in the show and a lot to analyze as well as a lot of different emotions and defenses.
The office is a mental health show its not just episodes 😂
Honestly what helped the most in trusting a therapist was simply knowing a bit about them. I fully understand the patient/practitioner divide being there for good reason, but at the same time, being TOO clinical can be just as much a problem in some situations. Nothing but reflective listening technique parroted back to someone with severe social isolation and agoraphobia is only going to worsen things, not make it better. You're stuck all day every day in your own head, so you're THERE to here someone else's opinions.
A counselor having some sort of agenda helps too. Nothing is worse than the "So, how was your week?" start to every session when every day plays out EXACTLY the same as the one before. >.< Makes it disheartening to book appointments as often or to keep going.
I love that your ipad is paused on an episode of Drag Race🎉
Jungle book?!? Thems is fighting words 😤
I never feld like I have to trust my therapist. I knew something was of with me because I constantly had misunderstandings in my everyday life. So to me my therapist was never more but a foreign language teacher. I have absolutely no interest in other humans so I never care about what anybody thinks of me. Because I now dr. Elliott likes quizzes: who can figure out what I have? (I do know myself, don't worry about me taking your diagnose for fakt)
You should also know that Michael just hates Toby in general so that’s probably why he sees this as punishment
I agree I love the original Jungle Book❤
I don't know if you've looked into EMDR much but from what I've heard not myself being an expert is that it's pretty much bunk
Funny enough I didn't have distrust of therapy until I was tricked into it. My godmother is art therapist that my mom decide I should begin to see her once a week. I was depressed teen and she found my journal without telling me. I was told she felt bad about not being apart of my life and wanted to make up for lost time. So I was fine with it because I didn't want to be a jerk. Done at her home for most part so didn't really see anything strange. It wasn't until a year later she got her own office did I realize it and felt so dumb and how weird her questions where half the time. The irony is I am not a big fan of art mostly because terrible at it. I would vastly have prefer to do normally talking than exercises I did. We eventually grew apart and didn't enjoy her company as much because she strongly disliked my being an atheist, and often tried to force her spiritual beliefs on me. No idea if this was part of therapy or it was just a personal level. It would be years later before I would trust therapy even though I knew it had nothing to do with profession and just my own exp being manipulated left sour taste.
4:05, definitely the latter
I had some nuts therapist..luckily I found out young I'm my own mental health specialist. People may need them I'm just speaking about myself
Plane Jane! 🙌🏽
Good morning Elliot, or whatever time it is in that wacky silly land you reside
It's evening here in the UK!
Psychiatrists get “Interesting”. Us therapists get “How do you feel about that?” I’m sorry it’s predictable, but I really am interested in how a person feels about the experience.
And yes, we begin with the conscious and move to the unconscious as well as the connections we are seeing and they’re experiencing. It’s a complex relationship but very dynamic and rewarding.
I trust way to quickly and presume the best. A therapist is paid and legally obligated to be trust worthy. It's easy to trust mental health professionals.
Why in god good earth is Plane Jane randomly in the background, please do a video on her
Sorry to say, but the staring thing wouldn’t work on me. I’d just turn/look away uncomfortably
Have you seen Ren - Hi Ren
If you haven’t you should react to it. It deals with mental health and the struggle with living with mental health.
Just out of curiosity, you said you use those toys to assess creativity when screening kids for autism to assess creativity. How DOES autism affect creativity? Bc on one hand one could easily imagine a v rigid thought process and struggling with abstract thought might limit it but also basically every artist i know is autistic bc art is a field that is v tolerant of weirdos who do stuff a bit outside the box.
This is a great question. In my experience creativity should not be replied upon for an autism diagnosis at all, but the use of toys like this can be one form of social pressure that can elicit other features of autism e.g. people's manner of speech, interaction with the examiner, stress levels etc. In fact, the ADOS specifically doesn't score tasks to do with creativity for the diagnosis so it's one tool in a broader assessment not a test in and of itself
Ive only been to a psychiatrist once as an adult. Googled him and saw he had a thin blue line on his facebook, never again.
Thank you. I'm not a Scientologist but I've had very bad experiences with Psychiatry and therapists that bordered on abuse so I don't like it I live in the United States in a very backward area with poor views on mental health. I live in Appalachia where mental health isn't taken seriously in the therapists are very abusive and cruel. I don't believe in Psychiatry because I was abused by my psychiatrist. I don't trust any because I live in Appalachia and abuse is legal and encouraged
I've been psychologically broken down I live in the most horrible area on planet Earth I wish someone would reach out to me and believe me that I live in a horrible area with its behind the times and has horrible Health Care
They abused me for having autism because it's Armstrong County Pennsylvania and it's legal and encouraged autistic people are put in institutions and jailed where I live it's not the United States because it's so backward😊
No love for Inside Out as the best (animated) film of all time?
5:00 - This is a gross oversimplification… Which is understandable, as it’d be a video itself to explain.
Essentially, psychotherapy is a specific ‘brand’ of therapy popularised by the unscientific works of Freud. It’s why the NHS doesn’t view it favourably as a treatment.
Counselling includes the majority of other therapy modalities such as CBT (not so interested in the past, but making change in the present), as well as schematic therapy (with a strong focus on where past ideas come from).
You can see how viewing one as the past and one as now therefore isn’t accurate. Neither has anything to do with conscious vs unconscious per se.
